Lady Gaga has announced the release of her new album, ARTPOP - along with the LP's first single and a special app.
The 'Fame' star revealed the details at a special dinner party in New York, before taking to her official Facebook page to give more information and explain the album's concept.
The album's first single will be released in just five weeks on 19 August. The app and album will be available to pre-order from 1 September before being fully released on 11 November.
Gaga described the app as: "a musical and visual engineering system that combines must, art, fashion and technology with a new interactive worldwide community - 'the auras'. Altering the human experience with social media, we bring ARTculture into POP in a reverse Warholian expedition."
She continues: "Exploring Gaga's existence as a cultural interface, the user will share in the 'adrenaline of fame' as they build and share their own projects, chat with one another, and watch in real-time on a virtual globe as ARTPOP explodes onto the physical an virtual universe at once on November 11, out 'BIG BANG!"
Lady Gaga posted the following information on her official Facebook page:
The Haus of Gaga also claims that the album "virtually mirrors Gaga's creative process as she passes through the mediums of each artist she collaborates with, scoring a blueprint of her journey."
Yesterday, rumours surfaced that Lady Gaga would be making her live return at London's iTunes Festival in September. Apple refused to comment on the claims.
